XENIA, Ohio — Hamvention® 2026 General Chairman Brian Markland today announced that the curtain has come down on another extraordinary Hamvention®, and the numbers tell a story of remarkable enthusiasm: 37,924 attendees gathered at the Greene County Fairgrounds & Expo Center, reaffirming Hamvention’s standing as the world’s largest and most celebrated amateur radio gathering.
“On behalf of the entire Hamvention team, I am thrilled to share that Hamvention 2026 was an outstanding success. Seeing nearly 38,000 fellow amateur radio enthusiasts come together in Xenia is something that never gets old. This event belongs to every volunteer, every exhibitor, and every guest who made the journey — and I could not be more proud of what we accomplished together.”
— Brian Markland, General Chairman, Hamvention 2026

I’ve been spending the last couple days working on the teardrop camper. While camping for Dayton Hamvention we realized we could do some small but useful upgrades to the interior for storage. Previously I had 3D printed some little storage baskets, and while they worked, they were always in the way when we needed to move stuff around. So I got to work 3D printing some drawers, ordered a cargo mesh, a new table, printed a new USB hub, bought some fire extinguishers, and ordered a special little surprise…

In this video, we break down the misleading claims from "When Facts Hurt Feelings – The GMRS vs. Ham Reality Check" and set the record straight on GMRS vs Amateur Radio for real-world preparedness.
From exaggerated FCC data interpretations and family licensing myths to emergency response realities (including Hurricane Helene), we examine the evidence, technical limitations, and why ham radio’s capabilities, range, power, digital modes, and global reach remain unmatched for serious EmComm.
✅ What you’ll learn:
The actual strengths and weaknesses of GMRS for families and local use
Why ham radio’s licensing, frequency access, and infrastructure provide superior options in disasters
Fact vs. hype: repeater access, power limits, interoperability, and public safety parallels
Balanced view: When GMRS makes sense alongside ham radio (not instead of it)

Bonus Episode: Scratch Building a Frequency Counter? Rex W1REX Breaks Down His X-Checker Circuit
This one wasn’t planned as an episode — but it was too good not to share.
As part of our ongoing Beginner Project Series, we’re scratch building a frequency counter based on Rex Harper W1REX’s X-Checker kit from QRPme.com. Before we put iron to board, we sat down with Rex himself to walk through the circuit — and what came out of that conversation is exactly the kind of deep-dive explanation that doesn’t show up in any build guide.
If you’re following along with the Beginner Project Series and building this circuit from scratch, this video will give you a much clearer picture of what’s actually happening on that board — straight from the designer himself.
Rex Harper W1REX is the one-man operation behind QRPme.com, home of the Tuna Tin 2, the Rockmite, MePADs, and dozens of other beloved QRP kits. He’s been designing and kitting ham radio projects for decades and is a fixture in the QRP homebrew community.
Resources mentioned:
X-Checker kit: https://www.qrpme.com/?p=product&id=Q17
Join us as we explore how you can get involved in portable radio, QRP, and more in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone (AP/DZ). Every aspect of portable operations is covered in this biweekly podcast, from news and gear to achievements, the workbench, contests, awards, and beyond.
